## Questions & Answers

**Q: Bourbon vanilla means it contains liquor or alcohol?**
A: Hi thank you for your question. No not at all the name bourbon is the common name for the type of vanilla orchid these beans come from being vanilla planifolia. The name bourbon vanilla gained notary from the island of Reunion which is an island and region of France in the Indian Ocean of the coast of Africa. The islands orginating name is Bourbon island and is famous for being the place of the birth of hand pollination of the vanilla orchid. Vanilla planifolia is now grown in many regions of the world such as Uganda, Png, Indonesia and most famously Madagascar. We hope this answers your questions but please let us know if you have any further.

**Q: are these quick cured or dried naturally and over what time period?  thanks**
A: Hi Patti, no these beans are not quick cured. These beans are from the 2017 season and were cured over a period of 120 days and imported a couple weeks after the official opening of export season for Madagascar which opened on in Mid October.

**Q: What grade (quality) are these?**
A: Hi JM,  thank you for your question. These are prime, gourmet or as referred to on an international scale black beans and conform to 15cm and up with a moisture content of 30-35 percent. Beans are specifically from the sava region of Madagascar which is the largest and most famous growing region. We hope this answers your question but please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

**Q: Can i plant the seeds?**
A: Absolutely not. This listing is for cured vanilla beans. You would need a vine cutting or green vanilla beans to propagate. Vanilla sold as a spice is a cured and fermented product that goes though various kill steps including a water kill, sun, and other steps to produce a final product.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very fast response
*by R***N on May 15, 2025*

Very fast response. My order actually shipped in hours from when I placed it. Beans looked great. Very moist. Had a lot of paste inside. My vanilla extract is in progress so I can't comment on taste yet. I can say the vodka got dark much quicker than with the other beans I tried.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SEE UPDATE BELOW: Dried out and brittle
*by S***E on November 17, 2020*

UPDATE:I am revising my review and giving SloFood Group 5 stars for explaining what happened and sending me another pack of 5 vanilla beans plus 2 more!Thank you Michelle for your sincere concern for my unhappiness and willingness to make it right.I added a new picture of the replacement vanilla beans which are moist, supple and have that familiar vanilla fragrance.I can now say that I can recommend SloFood Group for their great customer service as well as their quality product.OLD REVIEW:I received this pack of 5 grade A Madagascar vanilla beans a few days ago. I was planning to use the seeds in a recipe. However, when I opened the package the beans were brittle and couldn't be split to scrape the seeds out. In fact there was "grit" all over them. These were NOT grade A seeds and I paid a premium price for old grade B pods.This is only the 2nd time in many years that I received inferior vanilla beans. You can see in the picture that the expiration date is a year from now! If this is what Slo Food Group considers grade A then I cannot recommend this company.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Trying to find the right vanilla bean for brewing.
*by A***. on March 1, 2020*

I have been searching for good plump flavorful vanilla beans for my brewing addiction. Sadly the last 2 installments from other companies have been total duds or just let downs BUT these vanilla beans have renewed my faith. When they arrived I could smell them through the package. I opened them and immediately used 2 to start extracting the vanilla goodness. The beans were plump and incredibly fragrant. I scraped out the contents and placed them in a small jar of bourbon which in turn made the bourbon smell fantastic (fyi, I do not like bourbon). During the scraping I got vanilla tar under my nails. That scent stayed with my fingers for days despite soap and water on many occasions. I am sold on this company. I will keep using them as long as the beans keep turning out this way!!
